"Eurovision" for the first time on the "Inter" TV channel
Viewers of the "Inter" channel will be able to see the two semi-finals and the final of the most popular song contest "Eurovision" live, which will take place on May 14, 16 and 18 in the city of Malmo in Sweden. 39 countries are expected to participate in this year's competition.
The contest will be broadcast by "Inter" based on an agreement concluded with the European Broadcasting Union.
Yegor Benkendorf, Chairman of the Board of "Inter" TV channel: "Eurovision is one of the main global music events, which is of national importance for Ukraine. The channel's position is that the maximum number of Ukrainian viewers should be able to follow the competition live. Such information support of the competition will increase the chances of the Ukrainian participant Zlata Ognevich to win the "Eurovision".
The "First National" TV channel, which broadcasts "Eurovision" every year, does not lose its traditions.
It was on the First National on December 23, 2012 that the final of the national selection for participation in the song contest "Eurovision - 2013" took place live.
The reason for the increased attention to the competition is not surprising, because 2013 can be called the Year of "Eurovision" for Ukraine. Ukrainian singer Zlata Ognevich, according to European bookmakers, is going to the competition as one of the two main favorites of the competition, and in autumn Kyiv will host the second most important project of the European Broadcasting Union - the Junior Eurovision. Also in 2013, Ukraine will resume its participation in the dance Eurovision. The last project will also be organized by the National Television Company of Ukraine in cooperation with one of the commercial television channels of Ukraine.
